Development Awards

As part of Ashton Business Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility policy, we have committed to investing a proportion of our profit back into the local community through our Development Awards to help individuals overcome some of the barriers to getting their first job within their chosen career.  Our Development Awards are intended to support individuals in gaining industry experience, helping to develop the skills and competencies required to take the next step in their career.
